About Theresa
Theresa Farello is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on practical support for parents and individuals facing stress and life changes. She aims to create a warm, open space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming. Theresa keeps language simple and direct to help parents find next steps fast.
Theresa uses conversational guidance rooted in client-centered ideas. She listens first, then helps people choose tools that feel useful.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on closeness and communication when relationships feel strained. Her background includes roles as a school counselor, director of social services, and adjunct professor before moving into clinical counseling.
That mix shaped a practical style that balances problem-solving with emotional support. Theresa brings five years of professional counseling experience to sessions. Theresa often helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, trauma and grief.
She also works with concerns such as addiction, self-esteem, eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, autism spectrum, first responder and veteran issues, and sensory impairments. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability.

Approaches Theresa lists

Approaches and online options for parenting and stress
Theresa draws on client-centered work that focuses on listening and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical strategies for daily life, which can help with anxiety, mood, and motivation. Emotionally-focused therapy, or EFT, looks at how emotional patterns affect relationships and closeness and can be useful when communication or intimacy feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques that seem to fit, and adjust the plan based on what works. The process emphasizes shared decision-making so clients stay involved in shaping their care.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging lets someone check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contact. These options give flexibility for parents and people with packed schedules.
